Battle for Azeroth Tools of the Trade (BfA 8.1.5)
Tools of the Trade questlines were added in Patch 8.1.5 and can be completed to earn a unique item for each of the crafting professions in World of Warcraft. These items have unique effects and provide crafters with a new quest chain and recipe to craft each profession's newest item!
The Tools of the Trade quests are available from profession trainers once you have 150 skill points in the profession that matches the trainer.
